Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (P4) – 7/10
For the first time this season, Leclerc was thoroughly second-best to Hamilton all weekend. He brought the car home in fourth but never looked capable of bothering the leaders. Visibly frustrated, he spent the race arguing with his engineer over excessive radio chatter. He’ll be glad to head home to Monte-Carlo for the next round.
Max Verstappen, Red Bull (P3) – 7.5/10
An unusual final stint saw Verstappen battle dropping tyre temperatures, leaving the four-time champion vulnerable late on. But he didn't wave the white flag easily against Hamilton, maximizing a stubborn car to pick up his first podium of the year. He even offered a cheeky post-race thank you to McLaren for their strategic blunders.
